{"product_id":"malia_the-garden-of-eve_2024_war_1","title":"The Garden Of Eve","description":"\"My heart beats for many things. I think it's because I come from a mixed heritage marriage. I never felt I was one thing or the other, I'm more of a fusion of both and my music reflects that. I feel like I'm evolving as a human being and even though music is just a means of expression, I love the idea of resonating with it, if its rhythm suits me. An experience, precious and profound, whether playing it or listening to it on the radio! The first time I heard Billie Holiday sing 'Blue Moon', I felt it in every cell of my body. It had such a powerful effect on me. Sentimental blues, born from tragic situations, sometimes even reflecting my own experiences... No matter how bad family, friends, politics, lovers, governments or society can be, they can never destroy the forces of good in this world. As time passes, I find more and more the truth that is rooted in my soul. And I finally feel mature enough to understand this wonderful musical tradition, because the blues is life.\" And if the blues is life, Malia is the energy that allows the blues to have a soul, a voice. Characterized by her unique timbre - which needs no further explanation - Malia makes us vibrate throughout the 12 tracks of this album that has everything it takes to become a classic. It has been a long time since a contemporary artist paid such a beautiful tribute to the blues, a style that in the year 2020 deserves to be dusted off a bit. The album opens with a beauty called \"Hope\", the first single. \"Hope is fine, I feel divine\", sings Malia. From the very first note, we are transported to a distant place with a dark but optimistic mood. The tension keeps rising with \"Last Show\", a melodic neo-country track. \"Last Show\" evokes perseverance in the face of adversity, use what you have inside you to make the most of life. \"Gather all your seeds and plant them deep\"... No matter how dark things may seem, there is always something or someone that can offer you a glimmer of light. Life can be hard, but we can certainly grow with these challenges. I see this kind of courage in human beings all the time.\" The album continues with \"The Thrill is Gone\", a BB King track that Malia takes to a whole other dimension. \"Me \u0026amp; My Girlfriend\", the most jazzy track on the album, seems like a little nod to Sabine Sabine's 80s track \"Catwalk\". \"Two Seedlings\" invites us to an irresistible country-blues while \"Lord, I feel So Bad\" takes us further west in a western-style atmosphere. It explores a rather dark theme. \"This song is about the slot machine that governs us, where money means more than life. It's up to us to stand up for love and humanity.\" It continues very theatrically with Malia's rather sensual voice on \"Restoration\" which leaves us with a brighter feeling before moving on to \"Death\" and its blues as dark as a good whiskey. But it makes us want to taste this exquisite blues even more. \"Freedom At Last\" evokes the feeling of a heavy metal song played in slow motion, a real gem. And when you least expect it, Malia ingeniously puts you in a mood that makes you want to dance to the jazzy and bluesy groove of \"Moving Away\". It is followed by \"Honeymoon is Over\" and its romance that ends badly, while \"Love in Vain\", better known from the Stones' cover, closes the album and sounds like an Ella Fitzgerald classic. At a time when technology is increasingly shaping music, 'The Garden Of Eve' explores the opposite: it is an organic album, made by real musicians recording simultaneously, giving it a live feel while having a wonderfully bright sound. Although the blues has lost its most faithful missionary since the death of the late BB King, Malia and 'The Garden Of Eve' offer a beautiful rejuvenation that injects a modern scent into this style that will delight blues lovers.","brand":"Malia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57531276558680,"sku":null,"price":20240517.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/malia_the-garden-of-eve_2024_war_1","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
